| My wife assures me that I've been in here before. There was something about the place that rang a few bells. But, I'm still not 100% convinced. Nevertheless, this is a lovely old fashioned local in the centre of Oldbury with some fabulous tiling. The front bar was busy with customers who appeared to have had a few. There is then a nice serving corridor connecting the front room with a similar sized room at the rear. No longer owned by Brains, the ales were AJ's Best Bitter & Stuck On Blondes & Sarah Hughes Dark Ruby Mild. To my surprise, they also stocked Weston's Old Rosie. I swerved the cider to go for the Mild. Very enjoyable this was too. The Wetherspoon's (Court of Requests) nextdoor may hold all of the cards when it comes to dining and range of beers. But, the Waggon & Horses wins the prize for more authentic pub hands down. Sure enough, I finished off my Friday visit to the West Midlands at the Court of Requests, which I will request to be added to BITE. blue_scrumpy - 25 Aug 2019 20:06 |
| Sadly this place has been closed for the last couple of months or so, it couldn't compete, or didn't want to compete, with The Court of Requests, the two year old 'Spoons next door, big shame really because the Waggons interior is pretty spectacular and the cask ale range was the best for miles around in it's hetday, we often used to use the upstairs function room on our return from the Cheltenham Festival, will it ever reopen? that's for Brains Brewery to answer. ell - 27 Jul 2014 09:50 |
| Not a great place, beer was OK but nothing to write home about. Beautiful interior but could use a tiny bit of sprucing up. jjsint - 16 Nov 2012 14:17 |
| Best pub in the area. Range of cask ales plus Brains's smoothflow. Impressive tiled Victorian building with etched windows. Food advertised but didn't see any. Bit quiet for a Saturday night. MisterSifter - 13 Sep 2011 13:10 |
| Don't go on a Staurday night expecting food - they don't do evening meals on a Saturday night beerychris - 3 Oct 2010 10:56 |
